I've been struggling for a few Scuba sessions to get this skill down, you have explained it so clearly, this totally makes sense. Thank you for the "dry training tip". We need the muscle memory for this skill.

You're very welcome! Marcel van den Berg

As someone who had big, big problems doing this right and who finally did it yesterday, i still say "Thank you" for this. It sounded so simple and so rational to me when i was first told to just breath in through mouth and to breath out through nose. I asked myself "how can anyone not be able to do this?", but when my instructor told me just to try to breath in through my regulator and to breath out through nose in the water, i struggled that much that i quitted it for this hour of my scuba diving course and in the end it was even one of the reasons why i stopped the whole course. This was absolutely terrifying to me. Yesterday, years after i stopped and after many things in my life had changed to better - also my mental and physical condition - i had another try-out lesson and a very calm and friendly instructor who explained and showed it similar to you. After 3 three attempts i finally understood and could to it times and times again, even in deeper water... To anyone who is still scared of this excercise: I can feel you! But if someone like me can learn it, you can learn as well. Trust me.

I love this comment and so, so true! We can all do it, but some of us just need a bit more time, practice and the right instructor to make it happen. Don't give up! The fishes are waiting :) Marcel van den Berg p.s. if this video really helped that leaving a Super Thanks by clicking the Heart under the video will help a lot! Up to you ofc. 😉🙏

This is a really good video! Thank you!

Had my discover scuba course yesterday. First time letting the water in "half way" and I just let the whole thing fill up by accident. I thought well, nobody has ever died from getting water in their eyes. Not stressing is the biggest factor. I cleared them successfully. Loved the lesson and ill be back for more!

That is great to hear! Yes staying calm is defiantly the best trick in clearing your mask :)

WE MUST, start blow by nose then you need to open the mask slowly, but no ones tells that. opening the mask first never works, instead, it will make more intake water inside the mask.

Can you explain this part? Blow out the nose before you let water in ? Is that what that person was saying? Thank you! I’m struggling w this section of the course

⁠@@hepress2486 believe what he says is that you need to open your mask slowly while exhaling/ breathing out(NOT BEFORE), so that the exhaling force of air will push the water out of your mask through that opening. I think one must also close the mask during exhalation process itself to prevent any water inflow again. I might be wrong though, so feel free to correct me if I am.

Great tips, thanks

Your voice is so soothing. Wish I had a teacher with your patience.

Actually when we push the top of the mask,and blow out by nose, does the mask open up? I saw in this video the mask actually not really open up, or underwater I always tried to open the mask 😂 idk if making sure the mask is open is necessary, but i saw lot of people pushing the mask and it doesnt look like it actually opens

When you touch the frame at the top your mask will slightly open at the bottom then you blow out of your nose, just slightly enough for the water to come out :) But you can also open the mask a bit from the bottom if that work better for you! :)

Person with contacts here. I have no problem to clear the mask, my problem is to know when I can open my eyes that my contacts wont swim away :( any trick to know when the water is at least below eye level? I am moving my head like an idiot trying to figure out normally xD

@ScubaDivingTips

2 жыл бұрын

Hi E VR, I know the feeling as I also wear contact lenses :) When you are doing a course the instructor normally squeezes your arm to let you know when the water is cleared from your mask. But when you are fun-diving you are on your own to know. For me personally I like to focus on the breathing out of my nose process and I can feel the water leaving my mask to the point I know it is safe for me to open my eyes. Will this work for you I don't know, but if you want to try and test it then find some confined (shallow water), preferably a pool, make sure you have a buddy with you and practice clearing your mask over and over again until you get that feeling of knowing then your mask is cleared. That is what worked for me. Please let me know if it worked for you :) Have a great day! Marcel van den Berg
